Chapter Thirty-Eight: You Come and Go
The enemy retreated, and the people who had abandoned the border city more or less returned.
However, there are also people who have returned to the capital or the bustling city and decided not to return.
As a result, there were a lot of shops without masters in the border city, so that Zhao Yiyan could regain the ownership of the border city, just waiting for the official teeth to be sold, and the local tax could be more.
Zhao Yiyan waited for the war to end, and immediately sent an eight-hundred-mile emergency report to the emperor.
The words are all praised by the emperor, and it is precisely because of the current political harmony and the prosperity of all kinds of waste, so when the enemy army attacked, thunder and lightning fell from the sky and struck those people.
And those prisoners, he did not hide it, all of them were reported to the emperor in the battle report, and in the subsequent recitals, he pointed out the functions and handling methods of this large number of prisoners.
The people were sent away in a very short period of time and sent to work as coolies in several nearby states and counties, which made the lives of the surrounding people much better, because without them, every family would have to be sent to serve as a conscriptor every year.
And these people who came down from the battlefield, each of them strong, can help a lot.
As a result, the officials of these states and counties are especially grateful to Zhao Yiyan.
Zhao Yiyan acted as if nothing had happened, still doing his own thing, but there was no one left in his border city.
After all, this is a border with an enemy country, and if they run away, or if they don't take care of it themselves, it will not be good if they become the internal response of the place!
Zhongli breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that those people had been taken away and that he was intact.
Hui Bafang reopened, and there seemed to be an extra dish added to it, the name of which was Buddha jumping over the wall.
This dish is sold only one serving a day, and each serving costs 999 taels of silver.
This dish alone made Hui Bafang directly override all the restaurants in the entire border city, but it caught Zhongli a little off guard.
There was a storm in the city for a while, and Zhao Yiyan naturally didn't have heard of it.
In addition, those soldiers originally liked to drill into the Hui Bafang, and what news was in the Hui Bafang, he didn't need to inquire to know.
Suddenly, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he thought of the dishes that Zhongli had asked the shopkeeper to give him.
Buddha jumps over the wall!
This name is really tough!
And this amount alone is enough to scare everyone into retreating.
In the eight directions, the shopkeeper also found Zhongli.
"Boss, it can't go on like this! We think of this as our signature dish, but we have to have someone to eat it, don't we? ”
Now no one dares to come here to order food, isn't this a little, too wasteful?
Zhongli shook his head at the shopkeeper a little helplessly, and sighed silently in his heart.
Although she didn't think as much as Zhao Yiyan thought about some things and considered them comprehensively, she never admitted defeat to anyone in this aspect of business.
In the end, the shopkeeper still has too little experience.
"Why waste? What is our dish called? ”
"Buddha jumps over the wall!"
The shopkeeper looked at Zhongli with a confused expression, and even wanted her to go to the doctor earlier.
"Yes, Buddha jumped over the wall. Don't you think my name is too exaggerated? Those people with lofty ideals who advocate Buddhism probably know about it, and they will say that I am blaspheming the Buddha, right? But you see, we didn't sell, did we? And, what place are we here? The place where the true dragon emperor is sheltered! Didn't you hear that thunder a few days ago? The house on the other side of the main street hasn't been repaired yet! ”
The shopkeeper's mouth twitched a few times in embarrassment, and the expression on his face was full of confusion as he looked at Zhongli, who was talking to him.
If others don't know, doesn't he know yet?
Reaching out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, he nodded gently.
"So that's what I'm going to do?"
It's a bit of a dead look, right?
Zhongli smiled and nodded at him.
"Just do it, it's okay. If you don't order, someone will. ”
Let's say, someone who has already eaten a Buddha jumping over a wall once.
Zhongli smiled a little ill-intentionedly.
At this time, in the barracks, Zhao Yiyan inadvertently heard the conversation between the two soldiers.
"You don't know! The name of the person is Buddha jumping over the wall, it is said to be delicious, but the price is also a little expensive, but even if I smell it, it is good! ”
"No way, we don't have that blessing. I heard that it was made by the little son of the Zhong family in Hui Bafang himself, and it was naturally much more expensive than the dishes we usually eat. ”
Moreover, he is also the master of those chefs.
Some time ago, when they were close to those cooks, they heard them say that they were all taught by Zhongli to cook.
Zhao Yiyan, who was standing behind them and listening to these words, frowned tightly, and pursed his lips.
Damn it!
Why do you feel uncomfortable in your heart?
Is it because she thinks that her beautiful hands are going to cook for others?
Zhao Yiyan felt that he was going crazy, but he just couldn't hold back, so he could only frown and stare at them, his face extremely ugly.
"But is it true?"
The two turned around and saw Zhao Yiyan, and they were immediately frightened, and after hurriedly asking for peace, they asked blankly, "What?" ”
Zhao Yiyan asked the question just now, the two of them looked at each other, and one of them slowly spoke.
"Yes, I heard that this Buddha jumping over the wall is an unpassed secret for them to gather in all directions, and it is the ancestral secret recipe of the little son of the Zhong family, and it will never be leaked."
The other soldier also sighed helplessly, sighing loudly.
"I don't know who has this mouth."
Zhao Yiyan turned around and left, and when he went back, he directly called his own soldiers and asked people to order food, and his name was Buddha jumping over the wall.
Zhongli knew that Zhao Yiyan would definitely order it, but he didn't know that people would come so quickly.
Moreover, the shameless one didn't even plan to give money.
How can this be?
"Our general said that if you have to ask for it, Gongzi Zhong, then according to the mountain, the price should be able to rise."
The soldiers stood in front of Zhongli and said these words, their faces were red, and they felt ashamed.
After all, who would be so shameless not to give money for a meal?
In particular, the general did not have no money, but deliberately bullied people.
Zhongli was so angry that he finally grinded his back molars, trying to pull out a smiling smile at the other party, and snorted coldly.
"Okay, our general, our King of Qingyang, very good."
She didn't talk nonsense, and directly asked the shopkeeper to find the official tooth to come over, and then wrote the contract in front of the official tooth.
The other party was originally happy, but when he saw that the other master on the contract was the soil emperor King Qingyang here, he almost didn't go out directly.
"I said Zhong Gongzi, you can spare me!"
Zhongli snorted coldly, lowered his head and added a few more words to it, and handed it to Guan Ya to read.
"It's always okay now, right? You're going to bully us ordinary people, and everyone is coming to eat for nothing, can't I make a little protest? ”
When Guan Ya saw it, he was directly happy, and nodded quickly at Zhongli.
"Yes, yes."
Only then did Zhongli turn his head to look at the soldiers next to him who were also embarrassed.
"You say, do you want to sign this? Otherwise you will return empty-handed, or you will sign it, two choices. ”
Her agreement is not for King Qingyang, but for King Qingyang's personal soldiers.
The pro-soldier smiled bitterly, and finally gritted his teeth fiercely and signed!
Under the witness of the official teeth, the personal soldiers of the king of Qingyang took away a copy of the Buddha jumping over the wall from Huibafang today, and as for the nine hundred and ninety-nine taels of silver owed, Zhongli acquiesced to him to pay it back on a monthly basis, 10 taels per month.
When the matter was over, she put away the IOU, and then went into the back kitchen to work.
And the guests who dined in front also heard that they were going to do Buddha jumping over the wall in the back, and they were immediately excited.
Nearly a thousand taels, even if you can't eat it, you can smell it!
Sure enough, they didn't disappoint, and they waited until noon until the afternoon, and finally there was a strong fragrance from the back kitchen, which was especially striking, making everyone's saliva just smell it.
After Zhongli was done, he handed it over to his own soldiers to take away.
Along the way, even though the jar had been sealed at the beginning, a strong fragrance still peeked out along the cracks.
Zhao Yiyan was hungry for a delicious meal, but when he thought of the taste of Buddha jumping over the wall, he only felt that he was completely disinterested in other dishes.
Soon, the soldiers came back, and after putting the things on the case, they lowered their heads and took out an IOU and handed it to Zhao Yiyan.
"General, it's all subordinates who don't do well."
The main thing is that he is not as shameless as a general!
Zhao Yiyan frowned, his face changed again, and he took the IOU casually and wanted to tear it off, but he heard his own soldiers shouting in panic.
"General, no! If you tear it, Zhong Gongzi said, she will frame the one she left behind and put it in a conspicuous place in the store. ”
This is simply a shame for adults!
Zhao Yiyan didn't laugh angrily, took the IOU that was not very well written, and raised his eyebrows to look at the soldiers.
"Zhongli wrote it himself?"
The other person nodded.
Zhao Yiyan silently stuffed directly into his purse, and shook his hand angrily at the other party.
"Get out! Get lost! Get lost! It's none of your business. ”
When he finally left, he looked at his purse and laughed.
That man is getting more and more interesting!
But the expression on his face changed suddenly, and he couldn't help pursing his lips with a dark face, and his brows were furrowed.
Damn it!
Why is he male?
However, it seems that there are a few younger sisters in his family, do you want to go and see them?
This thought passed through Zhao Yiyan's heart, and he was hungry in the end, he didn't have time to think too much, and began to gobble it up.
At this time, several children who were listening to Mr. and reading on the Zhuangzi sneezed fiercely.
"Are you alright? Caught a cold? ”
Zhong Liyu looked at the children, and the expression on his face was particularly worried.
After all, now those doctors are in the city with Zhongli, if they get sick, there is really no way!
As soon as the words fell, I heard the people on the Zhuangzi rush in and shout.
"The main house is back, the main house is back!"
Several children were happy at the same time as Zhong Liyu, and the main family in their mouths was none other than Zhong Li.
Even if Zhongli had always had people bring letters to them before, but after all, he hadn't seen the real person, who could really rest assured?
